NOWSHERA: Chief of his own faction of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam Maulana Samiul Haq has dispelled the impression that he had cordial relations with the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, saying it was part of a propaganda campaign against him.
Addressing a meeting after Friday prayers at Akora Khattak, Maulana Sami said that he had actually friendly relations with the Mujahideen who had fought against Russia for independence of Afghanistan. He alleged that western media was trying to portray him as the friend of the proscribed TTP.
“We always pray for peace in Afghanistan and Pakistan and it is only possible when both countries have independent foreign policies. On the wish of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, I had started negotiations with Taliban to stop bloodshed in the country,” he clarified.
The maulana condemned the killing of innocent students in the Peshawar school and said that Islam didn’t allow the killing of children and women.
He said that Darul Uloom Haqqania was never involved in terrorist activities and always condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

See reaction of a good step taken by the government. Include promotion of Sectarianism in the list of terrorist activities; any acts against other Sects should be treated accordingly.

Oh No, what does this maulana mean by saying that Islam does not permit killing of women and children ? Does not it mean that Islam "permits" killing of men ?? And his portrayal of being a friend of Talibans is not wrong by any means....as his past history and remarks do suggest that he is not only friend but is also loyal to Talibans. His condemnation of Peshawer carnage is not going to help him in improving his image. He is perhaps trying to save his skin and avoid being booked due to the current surge in hunt for miscreants. However, the nation and masses know him only too well and so it is hoped that the current hunt will not exclude him and men like him.

So how about killing of innocent
a) "Men" (muslim as well as non-muslim)...Is that ok?
b) non-muslim "Kids & Women"...Is that ok?
c) less-muslim "Kids & Women"...Is that ok?
Assuming kid is less than 12 year of age and innocent person is who is living in a country termed "Good" by you.
And you will be developing special bomb which is as per Sharia law which can and will enforce these laws....right???
Just want to have some clear understanding.

As soon as the executions of criminals started, everybody has started saying they are not friends of Talibans. Where were they all these years? They are not to be trusted at all. They keep in changing their loyalties. They are enemies of Islam.

Maulana sami is a respectful leader for afghan and pakistan taliban. No denial in this. Maulana fazalur raman only leading one large group of pakistani taliban. He is still receiving fund for to run taliban machinery or taliban can earn by kidnaping for ransom, car lifting, narcotics etc.

Mr Samiul Haq is now scared of public reaction and anger. These rodents will buy time until the initial wave of anger is subsided. After that they will try to confuse the masses again by linking TTP atrocities to drone attacks and foreign policy.

He says -"We always pray for peace in Pakistan & Afghanistan...." Why does he not say - We want peace in the entire sub-continent? That is where Pakistan's problems are !!

Now now, the Maulana was kind enough to spare women and children if you read carefully. Only the men are/can be infidels and deserve to be taken out. That is the true benevolence.
Also, per the wishes of Mr. Sharif he started all these successful negotiations with the Tailab-animals. Do you not see peace everywhere now?
Thank you oh so very kind Maulana.

Yes, he is right he is not friend of Taliban. He is the father of Taliban, they follow him and he pleads their case everywhere. He must be put on trial and held accountable for his crimes.
